B.F. Waughop Dies at Age 81
A long, painful and distressing illness came to a merciful close
with the death, at his home in West Manchester, early Saturday
morning, Feb. 12, 1927, of Benjamin F. Waughop, well known
citizen, who had attained the age of 81 years. For years Mr.
Waughop had been waging a courageous fight against an incurable
malady, affectionately cared for by his faithful wife, whose
devotion cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Funeral services were held from the United Brethren church, of
which he was an attendant when in health, on Monday afternonn,
the Rev. A.E. Hursh officiating. Burial was made in Oakland
cemetery.
Mr. Waughop was born in Washington, Ill., Nov. 23, 1846, and grew
to young manhood there. In 1873 he was married in that village to
Sylvia Coulter, with whom he lived happily until her death
thirty-two years later. In 1884 Mr. Waughop and his family
removed to Kansas, but returned later to Monticello, residing
there and in Dubuque prior to coming to Manchester in 1895. Here,
on March 21, 1897, he was married to Mrs. Maggie Thatcher. He is
survived by his widow, three children by his first marriage -
Charles E. of Detroit Lake, Minn., H.C. Waughop of Long Beach,
Calif., and Mrs. Mary [E.?] Clark of Minneapolis, Minn.; and by a
daughter by his second wife, Mrs. Una Kelly of Dubuque. He also
leaves a brother, Richard, of Henry, Ill., who has attained the
remarkable age of 96 years.
Soon after coming to Manchester, Mr. Waughop entered the employ
of the late C.H. Mattox, who owned a large brick yard in West
Manchester, and for many years molded most of the brick turned
out of that kiln. He was a faithful, conscientious workman, a man
of integrity of character and life, a friendly, kindly neighbor
and a citizen holding to upright ideals. He was deeply devoted to
his family, for whom he labored incessantly, and they repaid him
by the ministry of unselfish service. Worn out with the long
struggle, he fell asleep to awaken in the glory of a new and
brighter day.
Lose Baby Son
Many friends sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Robinson of
Silver Creek in the death of their baby son which lived but a day
or two after its birth last Friday night, Feb. 11, 1927, at the
home of Mrs. Robinson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.M. Daniels, in
this city. The child weighed 12 pounds and survived only until
Sunday. The little body was taken to Silver Creek for burial on
Monday, a brief service being conducted at the grave by the Rev.
C.E. Dunlovy of Masonville. The mother, we are relieved to say,
is doing as well as could be expected under circumstances so
trying.

Sad Death of Child
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Hamblin was saddened by the

community. In 1924 Mr. and Mrs. Hamblin wee called upon to part
with another baby daughter, hence it seems their cup is full to
overflowing.
